Reasons to hate winter

[smeariestbat]

In Norway they say that winter is the time for shagging. I agree with this. Also some good dark winter ale about. Football season in full swing. Cheer up.

thats because we've got about two weeks with daylight during the day left

Theres no such thing as shit weather, just shit clothing. There is no reason, for anyone in the uk, to complain of being cold. I will never understand why town center shops have heating on full and doors wide open?!

I really enjoy winter, both months, it gives us a break from all the sunshine!

January and February suck, but December is a tremendous month. Most people are in a good mood because of Christmas, there's lots of time off for the same reason, most cities have the lights up, there's always good theatre on... I love December.

Snow in May, like last year, is truly awful though

As BoF also said, I have a dislike of artificial heating. Apart from that I love winter though, especially as it has Christmas in it

Football isn't better played in warm countries. I loved playing football on extremely muddy pitches as a child. Coming home covered head to toe in mud after playing football in the pouring rain was brilliant.

That's probably a big reason why the English aren't as technically gifted as other countries. You can't get the ball down and pass it about when its pouring with rain and the pitches are like ploughed fields.

I do agree though, the best games of Football are when you can make a slide tackle on the halfway line and end up in the box!

It depends on the weather. It's the rain and snow when it disrupts everything that gets me down.

BUT.

I really enjoy a walk out in the country on a bright, cold and frosty morning.
I have very fond memories of sunday teatimes when our children were smaller, gathered round the fire having crumpets and toast and watching whatever classic serial the BBC were doing at the time, or Supergran with the Scunner Campbell - wonderful stuff.

I'm in Sweden this winter. So multiply everything by 2 for me....

Don't mind winter as long as it doesn't go on too long like last year.
What I don't like is the fact that I seem to pick up a virus about this time of year ,which rather than K.ne for a few days,seems to linger on and on and on and on.
Can continue to function but not fire on all cylinders.
Grrr!

Have spent a few winters in Norway. Had two Norwegian girlfriends both named Tone, pronounced Tuna. They knew what winter was for.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Its not winter yet.
Winter don't kick in until after xmas.

Unless you live up north and Winter lasts between November and April.

This year winter starts at 12:11pm on 21st December. We are still in the Autumnul Equinox at the moment.

So winter is 11 months long. Who knew?

 

[Pavilionaire]

People who don't leave the house an extra 5 minutes early to de-ice their car, then do it but drive like idiots because they're late for work / school run.

Lucky, I'd love to spend winter in Scandinavia somewhere, preferably Hammerfest for the aurora borealis and the 24 hour night

Jeff is a wanker but I don't mind Henry if I'm being honest.

The only thing I can think of that upsets me about winter is all the miserable old *******s who emerge round about the time the clocks go back to tell us how crap it all is.

I've got some news for you, chaps. It happens for several months of every year. It has done for your entire lives so far and will do for the rest of your existence and for thousands and thousands of years beyond that. It can't come as a surprise to you, nor give you no time to prepare.

Moan moan bloody moan. Have a hot chocolate and man the hell up.
